Cookies and local storage
Last updated: 17 October 2026. Translation for information only: the Dutch version is binding.
On this page we explain what we store on your device when you use our website, what for, and how you stay in control. In short: we do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies or analytics cookies. We use one cookie to keep you logged in, and local storage for everything else. Both are needed for the website to work. Our fonts are also hosted on our own website.
Cookies and local storage: the difference
A cookie is a small file that a website places on your device through your browser and that is sent back to the website on every visit. Local storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) is a place in your browser where the website can keep data without it being sent to a server automatically. We use one strictly necessary cookie for your login, and local storage for everything else. The same rules apply to both (the Belgian Electronic Communications Act and the GDPR).
What we store
Strictly necessary (no consent needed)
This is needed to make the website work the way you ask it to. By law, no consent is required for it.
One cookie
- Your login (cookie
fwba_session): keeps you logged in, so you can open your lessons and tools without logging in again each time. It is a secure cookie (httpOnly): scripts on the page cannot read it, and it is only sent to our own website. It is removed when you log out, and otherwise after 30 days.
Local storage
- Your progress in the lessons and tools: which lessons you completed and where you left off. Kept until you clear it.
- Your answers in tools, worksheets and quizzes: so you do not have to start over each time. Kept until you clear them with "Clear my answers" or in your browser.
- Your notes and journal: what you choose to write down in the lessons. Kept until you clear them.
- Your language and country: your choice at the top of the page. Kept until you clear them.
- That you have seen the storage notice: so the notice about cookies and storage does not come back every time.
- A temporary session marker for your worksheet (sessionStorage), which disappears as soon as you close the tab.
What is in local storage stays on your own device. We do not see it, unless you are logged in. In that case it is also kept in your account, visible only to you.
Fonts
The fonts (Archivo, IBM Plex Mono and Caveat) are built into our website. Your browser therefore does not request them from Google or any other party, and no data about you is sent to third parties for this.
Analytics, advertising and social media
We do not use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, tracking or advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or embedded buttons or videos from social networks. If we ever add one, we will ask for your consent first and update this page.
Your choice
Because we only use strictly necessary cookies and storage, you do not need to accept or refuse anything. Still want to clear everything? Log out to remove the login cookie, and clear the rest in your browser settings ("clear site data"), or in the tools with "Clear my answers". You can always find this page again through the "Cookies and local storage" link at the bottom of the website.
You can also manage or clear cookies and local storage yourself in your browser settings (in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari under privacy or site settings). If you block the login cookie, you cannot stay logged in. If you clear everything, you lose your answers and progress on this device, unless you were logged in: then they are also in your account.
